I was in PA. & WV. visiting my husbands family this last weekend. I'm pretty sure last Saturdays News Paper headlines will make the Letterman and/or Leno shows. Family members in Southern PA. shaking their heads in disbelief are sure of that. Where else but West Virgina would you read this headline?

"Man shoots Ex-wife/stepmom"

Ex-wife/stepmom shot: Suspect attacked his ex-spouse who was married to his father The victim was taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital where she was listed in good condition Friday afternoon.

A Canyon Village Mobile Home Park man has been charged with shooting his ex-wife and former stepmother twice in the chest Friday morning.

Donald Ray Ramsey, 58, of Morgantown, was charged with malicious wounding following the shooting of Nana Sue Ramsey in her bedroom of a home they shared at 29 Canyon Village, State Police said.

The victim was taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital where she was listed in good condition Friday afternoon, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

According to police, Donald Ramsey entered the woman's room and threatened her. He fired three shots but one bullet missed. Their son, Travis Ramsey, heard the shots, ran to the room and restrained his father. A call to 911 was made and when troopers arrived on the scene, Donald Ramsey was in the driveway. Police reported that he told them that he shot his ex-wife.

The Ramseys were married for more than 20 years before divorcing. Several years later, Nana Sue Ramsey married Donald Ramsey's father, Dennis Ramsey, who said he'd help her out financially, police said. He died in 2007, according to obituary information.

Nana Sue Ramsey was living as a tenant in her ex-husband's mobile home at the time of Friday's shooting.

Donald Ramsey is being held at North Central Regional Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond.

Travis Ramsey, 18, is one of the five people facing charges in connection with a November 2008 home invasion during which an elderly Westover man was shot twice in the chest, officials said.

Travis Ramsey was released on home confinement after posting $100,000 bond. A July trial has been

Now that sounds like a bad joke I heard.
